Personally, I would comply and stay at home. But if you are on a mobile phone number how do they know where you are ? 

i went to work last time i flew home and the police turned up on my door that night, fortunately they let me off with a warning, one of my neighbours grassed me up.

Your phone can be tracked.


Everything you do on your phone can be traced (almost)

Not if it’s turned off, which is quite legal.

And what happens if you don’t answer, we spend most of our time in the back garden, (only during this nice weather) and can’t hear the door bell, or anyone knocking. We don’t take a phone with us. So, what is the next stage when you are genuinely sticking to the 10 day rule, knock your door down ?.

... down ?.

Take your phone with you into the back garden. You only have to quarantine because you are breaking guidelines nobody is forcing you to go abroad.

I have been searching on various sites trying to confirm if we need a PCR test or a LFT ( lateral flow test) when returning to the UK from Spain. The search results have been ambiguous to say the least. Can anyone confirm from personal experience which test is acceptable, we will be traveling to ...

...the UK using Ryan air, even their information is not exactly clear. Therefore anyone’s personal experience would be most appreciated, many thanks.

Hi 

Were heading to UK sunday and l got on line covid test day 2 & 8 for £105 .

That's the cheapest so far look on line for Screen4    (Yourkshire Ltd) cost £105 .

Locator form you can get on line look up UK travel  only fill it l think its 48 hours befour you go .
